Additionally, we've corrected a couple of critical quest bugs, plus an absolutely massive number of smaller issues with in-game object details, cleaned up behavior when the player does unexpected stuff (like poking new air-holes in an NPC's head with an SMG right after accepting their quest to track down that family heirloom), and have updated the game's text in both English and other languages. This one is in the running for being our biggest Wasteland 2 patch so far - and certainly of the new year.

Fixed a bug in identifying the Broken Man during the Hollywood/Griffith questline that could in some cases render the peace outcome unattainable.

Updated Prison HQ. A large rolling gate now blocks the Prison HQ to prevent quest sequence breaks. The gate is opened by Danforth at the appropriate time during the story, or when the player fixes the broken robot to destroy the turrets and gate.

Huge bug fix pass - nearly our biggest patch ever!?

Large English text updates.

Localization fixes and updates across all languages.

Wasteland 2 Patch 3 (59820) Release Notes

Nov 5, 2014

Patch 3 for Wasteland 2 is here, bringing our biggest change and improvement list yet! Most notably, we've got Steam Achievements, colorblind mode, and you can now carry your Ranger squad over into a second adventure after finishing the game the first time!

Highlights

Added Steam Achievements! Collect them all, if you dare. These are currently only in for Windows. Steam Achievements should be backwards compatible for many (but not all) save files, so players will receive achievements automatically by loading up their save files.

Added and improved epilogue text to fix bugs and add more details that were previously missing.

Added colorblind mode! Activate it in the Display Options menu. This mode changes certain HUD element colors, primarily in combat, to be easier to discern for people with colorblindness.

Added a new brightness/saturation calibration screen to get the game looking as good as it should on a display near you.

Characters are now automatically exported at the end of the game. Veteran characters will now be noted as such in character creation.

Further improvements to Text Size setting so it now affects much more text across the interface. This will help out players who are visually impaired, or who play on high-DPI displays, or TVs.

Added an option to show/hide selection circles on the party, for those who would prefer them off.

Continued cleanup of bugs and issues, especially in California.
